Saturday 6th June – Ennerdale Horse Shoe Fell Race
Report from Shane Ewen: Emergency bad weather route due to high winds of 60-80 mph and wind chill of -11 on the checkpoints! Second year in a row; the organisers seem to be plagued with bad luck. Whose mirror did they break? As for me, I don’t recall breaking any glass, but 3 miles into this revised 17 mile “trail” route my right shoe (wave harriers) fell apart in the bog over to Floutern pass & I had to run…
Saturday 6th June – Wharfedale Half Marathon
Results and more of Jack’s photo’s on the club Flickr site here. Report from Frank Beresford: I decided to enter Wharfedale Half Marathon purely because after having enjoying numerous leisurely walks around the beautiful area, I wanted to test myself off road in the stunning surroundings. I hadn’t really run properly since the uphill championships 6 days ago due to my legs been rather tiered from the onslaught of the hills in the Lakes and came to the race not sure how…
Saturday 6th June – Redcar Park Run
Report from Jamil Parapia: A bit strange to do a park run report but this was a very special occasion. On the morning of Racheal and Zack’s wedding, the best man (me) and bridesmaid Claire Duck of Leeds City were invited (by the bride) to take part in the Redcar park run. We had all travelled to Staithes the night before and I was torn between getting totally smashed with Scott Harrington and Zack and doing the park run….

Tuesday 2nd June – Thirsk Harrogate League Race 3
Report from the Hon. Handicapper: Flat, fast & windy pretty much sums up race 3 of the season, the 2 lap race at Thirsk. After the initial charge at the start, the head wind slowed the lead pack as no one seemed very keen to lead it out. Scott was the first to crack, taking the initiative on the long opening track. Turning left under the dual carriageway and now sheltered from the wind, the race up front really got…
